Sick_jacken_big_sleepsApril 12th, 2015. This wasn’t your typical lazy sunday afternoon at GCS santa ana. Today we had the honor of hosting Sick Jacken of The Psycho Realm and world famous artist Big Sleeps for an artist signing and exclusive product release. Chosen to be one of two locations for this release, the GCS customer base came out in full force to snatch up the new merch and say what up to the guys. Kenos One came through to do some psychos inspired body art to add to the ambiance. Our doors will always open to Jack and all The Psycho Realm family, we can’t wait to do this again soon.GCS_psycho_realm_signing_dtsa

“All You Can Eat” art show Apr ’15 art walk

Leave a comment

April_art_walk_2015April 4th, 2015. There it goes again. That time of the month that we look forward to and build up to. The first saturday art walk. The goal of this month’s show was to fill the gallery space to the brim with friends, recently made as well as the tried and tested. And it went off without a hitch. We had 3 music performances spaced out throughout the night, we had two artist painting live outside our doors and most of all, we had a great crowd of eager patrons and art fans come out and enjoy some of their night with us. Here is a photo re-cap of the show that will be in our gallery for the rest of the month, enjoy!Travis_allen_raymond_art_painting

Bringing_out_the_dead_art_show_gcs_dtsa_16Nov 3rd, 2012. The November art walk was always one of the biggest art walks of the year. Coinciding with the “Noche De Altares” event on 4th st., it was a perfect choice to launch our day of the dead themed art show. GCS always enjoyed the challenge of curating a themed group art show. And this one was one of our favorites. We took a break from the theme this last november but look out for “Bringing Out The Dead” art show to return in ’15.Bringing_out_the_dead_art_show_gcs_dtsa

Neko_burke_gcs_artshow_8Dec. 1st, 2012. GCS was happy to land this high quality art show with Neko Burke entitled “Sext Hangover” This guy is an amazing artist. The very impressive pieces that he brought out for the show combined mixed media paintings, carpentry and wood working. More installations than art pieces, this was the type of art show that raises the bar for future art shows. This guy is prolific, so keep an eye out for this guy.Neko_burke_gcs_artshow_dtsantaana_sexy_hangover

raos_art_show_gcs_santaana_3Today we look back at an art show that we hosted in our broadway gallery last year with RAOS. The title of the show was The RAOSSANCE / Don’t Look, Don’t Touch. This was a great solo show for this artist, which combined original canvas paintings, ink and mixed media illustrations, wooden sculpture and a cardboard coffin installation. The colors were bright, the imagery unique and the execution was on point. We need more RAOS in our gallery. RAOS_artshow_GCS
